when asked to respect pronouns of a likely troll, says “no ❤️ in fact people should be allowed to misgender them”

Please, quote me saying anything about disrespecting drag’s pronouns.

and compares the observation of gravity to gendered language

To gender itself. Fuck’s sake, did you not read this conversation you’re jumping into?

nah. change of pace. go listen to trans people. go to the c/main post and see all the trans people being happy their identities aren’t going to be subject to harrassment just because there are imperfect and annoying people out there with fantastical pronouns. maybe understand for half a second that this was never about drag, or you, or gravity, but the endless onslaught of attacks trans people face and how Ada is working to make a space where that doesn’t happen. then perhaps understand that, instead of celebrating the protection of hundreds of trans people, you centered a single trans person and yourself and immediately began to continue the same behavior which Ada sought to prevent.

nah.

Because you were bullshitting to make yourself sound better - or feel better, whichever.

Of course, I should go to where any dissenting opinion on the subject is removed and subjected to bans, that will really give me a clear view of the situation! :)

As you yourself said, any dissent on the subject is an admission to an intent to break the rules and a completely justified ban, so why would anyone who disagrees with an ounce of sense who wishes to remain part of the community voice that dissent?

next time, block, report, move on.

Block… who? The fucking admin?

I am moving on. Blahaj has the dubious distinction of being the second instance I’ve ever blocked.

nah change of pace. i was letting us get too into the weeds. 50% my fault.

where any dissenting opinion on the subject is removed

the upvote ratios don’t lie. trans people are happy with Ada. plenty of dissenting opinions there too, if you look. there’s a whole thread asking Ada to look carefully at drag’s toxic behavior for a potential ban, separate from neopronouns (incredibly enough).

As you yourself said, any dissent on the subject is an admission to an intent to break the rules

if you cared to remember, you would find i gave you… four? examples of ways to voice your concern about trolling while being clear you don’t intend to break rules. if you forgot, here you go no worries :)

Block… who? The fucking admin?

yup, and the instance. it’s clearly not for you. (meant to say downvote not report i apologize i just removed the whole thing)

I’m pretty sure Blahaj doesn’t HAVE downvotes. So, uh…

Again, as I pointed out immediately below that, if you’ll remember, three of those don’t actually address the point raised. The fourth one is admissible only in a very milquetoast “I’m objecting but only a little bit 🥺” way.

yup, and the instance.

As I said - already done, before you even entered this conversation.

I’m pretty sure Blahaj doesn’t HAVE downvotes.

There was a new update where downvotes from other instances do get federated now. At least on my instance, I can see that the comments are nowhere near as divisive as comments on other posts I have seen on Blahaj (ironically thinking of some of drag’s own posts there lol). The post itself is probably the lowest (just a tad above 50%) which makes sense since cisgender outsiders will have a propensity to downvote without opening the comments :)

I’m objecting but only a little bit

Sounds appropriate when the harassment of transgender people is on the line. I’m sorry you feel the need to object with vigorous abandon, but, I mean think about it, that kind of belligerent behavior isn’t going to be accepted by most mods—hardly unique to our discussion of blahaj. Again, there’s plenty of comments there asking for clarification and consideration. The ones that are up simply didn’t voice an intent to break rules.
